		This group portrait features six majestic Percheron horses. Note that the pencil sketch is slightly different than the photograph. I decided to re-positioned some of the horses' head because they would have been unsuitable in the original pose.
Update 1		Update 2
This is the beginning of Jane's portrait. Note that her head position is different than the mock photograph shown above.		More velvety  fur and details are added going upwards the head. Jane is a black Percheron but has brown highlights in her fur.
Update 3		Update 4
Now that I've added the back/neck area, I  leave the bottom part for later since the owner is unsure about adding wooden fencing.		Prince is the second horse on the left. He is the largest and the only black horse without any white markings.
Update 5		Update 6
Prince's ears are curled inwards. I will continue to work on the mane on the next step.		Here I continued the neck and defined the muzzle while adding more layers of color.
Update 7		Update 8
Although Duke looks white, he is actually a grey Percheron. His coat is flecked with brown and his eyes and muzzle are grey.		I finished the mane and top of the muzzle. Next I work to complete the neck and the rest of the muzzle and nostrils.
Update 9		Update 10
I leave the neck for later and move on to the next horse in line.		...more to come soon!
